Chapter 1452: The Time Has Come
The massive amount of pure power from the other side of the gods was constantly being swallowed like a whale, and the gathered power reached a level that made even the gods look on in awe and fear.
After several full days had passed, Zhong Qing, who was sitting cross-legged at the center of this world, finally showed a change. A trace of holy aura quietly sprouted, shocking the more than a thousand nearby gods so much that their eyes trembled.
Feeling that faint aura, the gods bowed their heads one after another and paid their respects in hushed voices, their eyes full of reverence. At the same time, many terrifying existences also seemed to sense something, as if a faint light was shining in the depths of the universe.
At the same time.
On the distant Cloud Star, Shadow Island.
The busy residents had returned to their former peaceful lives, and the long streets were filled with silhouettes bathed in the setting sun.
Bai Qiyu, with his drooping dead-fish eyes, was carrying groceries and walking home. His ordinary appearance was very inconspicuous in the crowd, but along the way, people still constantly bowed and greeted him.
My Lord...
My Lord, have you gone grocery shopping again?
Greetings, My Lord.
Passing by the entrance of a clothing store, the proprietress enthusiastically greeted him from afar.
Lord Bai, our little shop has recently released a new batch of sportswear. They are of high quality and inexpensive! If you are interested in buying, I can give you a thirty percent discount!
A thirty percent discount!
These weighty words made Bai Qiyu stop abruptly.
He looked back excitedly and was about to speak, but he seemed to suddenly notice something. A flash of inspiration crossed his mind, causing his eyes to tremble continuously as he stared blankly at the sky!
The next moment.
Bai Qiyu took a sudden step, pushed off hard with his legs, and flew towards the high-rise buildings in the city center like a streak of light!
By the artificial lake not far away.
Qing Huan Xiang and Old Turtle were fishing, but their fish baskets were completely empty. The two sighed secretly, showing a helpless expression of being about to return empty-handed.
Seeing the lake water becoming increasingly muddy and the fish being scared away, their eyelids twitched wildly. They looked at the green ox bathing in the lake, and then glanced at Li Taibai lying on the grass, but they dared to be angry but not speak out.
Just as they were about to pack up their fishing rods and head home.
Suddenly.
Li Taibai suddenly opened his eyes and sat up, looking up at the rosy clouds in the sky as if he had seen something extraordinary!
The two old brothers were also quite startled. They followed his gaze but found nothing.
Before they could voice their doubts, Li Taibai had already called out to the green ox, leaped onto it, and galloped away.
Looking at that retreating figure leaving in a hurry.
The two old brothers became even more surprised and doubtful, standing up and looking at each other in dismay.
What happened? What could make him so anxious?
Something major must have happened!
Old Turtle, oh Old Turtle, listening to your words is like listening to your words. Can't I see that something major has happened?
Damn it! You old goat!
The two old brothers muttered a few words and then started their daily bickering mode.
But before they could start arguing, they felt various terrifying auras constantly gathering in the sky, and various exclamations and heated discussions rang in their ears.
That wisp of aura just now, it seems to belong to a certain Lord?
And those afterimages in the east, they also seem to be the personal disciple Lords!
Looking at the direction they are rushing to, it seems to be the office building in the city center?
Oh my goodness, in all my years on Shadow Island, I have never seen such a lineup!
What major event is about to happen?
As bursts of surprised and doubtful voices exploded.
The two old brothers were also startled and suddenly looked up, only to see the sky full of flying streaks of light. Various auras gathered from all directions, converging towards the city center like a sky full of stars!
In an instant.
Their pupils trembled endlessly, and they stood frozen in place, their bodies stiff!
The entire Shadow Island, however, suddenly erupted into heated discussions, and the residents looked at the central high-rise building in continuous surprise.
In the noisy and sensational crowd, Juan and Little Juan also had faces full of shock. They forgot the work in their hands and stared blankly at the gathering stars in the distance.
Dad, what's going on...
Son, I've never seen such a lineup either!
In the highly anticipated high-rise building in the center.
In the grand conference hall on the top floor, the three-tiered round table was almost full!
Led by Wu Tao, Mo Tianji, Su Yunyun, Hong Fengkuang, Li Jin, and others sat at the central round table, while the rest sat at the two outer round tables in order of seniority. All the personal disciples were here.
Only the chief seat was completely empty.
The venue at this moment was exceptionally quiet and solemn, with no one speaking out of turn.
Everyone's eyes were focused on the empty chief seat, as if that grand seat was not empty at this moment, but rather an extraordinary figure was sitting quietly.
After gazing for several full breaths.
Su Yunyun began to scan the entire hall, parting her red lips to speak solemnly.
Fellow brothers and sisters.
Eldest Senior Brother has already begun to condense his godhead and will return soon. Now the time has come, and we should also take our own actions, trying every means to condense our godheads, so that we can return to our divine positions in the future.
As soon as these words came out, the whole hall nodded secretly, their eyes showing firmness.
The usually lazy Wu Tao also rarely responded seriously.
That's right, the time is indeed ripe.
Now the hearts of the worlds from all sides have been collected, and the construction of the city is almost complete. Our only remaining task is to closely follow in Eldest Senior Brother's footsteps and return to our divine positions!
As his voice fell, the personal disciples all over the hall looked at each other and nodded, their eyes revealing an unprecedentedly firm light.
The next moment.
A cluster of stars appeared in the sky above the city, illuminating the horizon reflected by the evening glow!
Immediately, people of all kinds on the ground exclaimed continuously, and the sounds of paying respects swept over like a tide!
Gasp!
Second Young Master? And Fifth Young Miss?! All the Lords have appeared today!
Dad! Look quickly! All the Lords are in the sky. Is Mister going to return?
Holy crap?!
Greetings, Lords!
Greetings, Lords!
All kinds of people on Shadow Island bowed in unison, their eyes full of excitement.
At this very moment.
The prosperous long street was filled with a dense crowd of figures. There were veterans who had been known for many years, like Master Lu, as well as rising talents like the Involution King and his son, and many Cloud Star predecessors like Jiang Yuan...
Looking at these familiar faces, the disciples in the sky also had smiles in their eyes. Seeing clearly the excitement and anticipation in everyone's eyes made Wu Tao and the others reveal looks of gratification.
The next moment.
At Wu Tao's signal, Su Yunyun spoke softly, uttering astonishing words.
Everyone.
For the next period of time, all of our fellow brothers and sisters will be going out, and we don't know how long it will take for us to return. This trip is of great significance, and we will rely on everyone to protect Shadow Island.
As her voice fell, many people looked up in surprise, their eyes full of unexpected expressions.
The Lords are going out?
Leaving Shadow Island for us to protect?
This...
Everyone's cultivation and bearing were indeed no longer what they used to be, but their current fortunes all originated from Shadow Island. Hearing suddenly that they were to take over this supreme land, it was inevitable that they would feel at a loss.
Even a father and son with high emotional intelligence like Xiong Fen and his son were instantly dumbfounded.
So, were they going to involute themselves into temporary bosses?
Was there such a thing in the world?
Ah, this...
The father and son were suddenly stunned by what they heard, looking at each other in bewilderment with trembling hands.
Looking down at the millions of panicked people on the ground, Su Yunyun smiled and spoke comfortingly.
Everyone, there is no need to panic.
We are only leaving Shadow Island temporarily and will definitely return in the future. You are all a part of Shadow Island, and this is our home. It has profound significance to our Master, so leaving it to you to protect couldn't be more appropriate.
"As long as everyone performs their duties, Shadow Island will continue to operate normally even without us. If there are major issues, you can discuss and make a decision together."
Saying this, Su Yunyun led the crowd to land in the central square, first clasping her fists and bowing to the vast sea of people.
"From now on, we will rely on everyone to protect Shadow Island. We thank you all here!"
The direct disciples behind her also clasped their fists in unison, their eyes full of sincerity!
"Thank you all!"
This bow frightened the entire populace of Shadow Island, making them bow repeatedly in return!
"My Lords, you must not do this!"
"We would not dare accept this; it truly honors us too much!"
Seeing the sincere entrustment of the direct disciples, the veteran employees of Shadow Island secretly exchanged glances, their expressions turning resolute, and oaths began to explode one after another!
"Please rest assured, My Lords, we will swear to defend Shadow Island to the death!"
"As long as we live, the island lives!"
"As long as we live, the island lives!"
With Master Lu and others leading the salute, the populace of Shadow Island shouted in unison, their united front finally bringing a look of relief to the eyes of all the direct disciples, who then bid their farewells and departed.
In an instant.
Over a hundred figures flew into the sky, scattering like streams of light.
Watching the last five Lords of Zangtian depart, almost disappearing into the night sky to the naked eye, Xiong Fen and his son were still clasping their fists toward the horizon to bid farewell, their faces full of emotion.
"I didn't expect that all the Lords would leave."
"From now on, we can only rely on ourselves. Even if it costs us our lives, we must protect Shadow Island well!"
By elevating the duty of protection to the level of risking their lives right from the start, the title of Involution King was truly well-deserved.
The surrounding departments and ordinary citizens were deeply infected, each raising their arms and shouting as if injected with chicken blood!
"Risk our lives to protect Shadow Island!"
"Manager Xiong said it well. Shadow Island is our home, and the Lords trust us so much. If anyone dares to cause trouble, we'll risk our lives fighting them!"
With the passionate shouts echoing, the various departments immediately set out to take action.
Even without anyone organizing the big picture, the departments spontaneously formed guard brigades, dividing their guarding duties by area. Xiong Fen and his son even waved their hands heroically, issuing new uniforms to the workers under them, and formed the strongest gate guard with Jiang Yuan and others, guarding the highway intersection in the rural-urban fringe.
From then on, Shadow Island entered a state of super alert!
